Welcome
[Verse 1]
Uh Uh Uh Uh
It was October, couple years ago now
Weather just started gettin’ colder
I’m just doin’ what I know, goin’ with the flow
Watchin’ everybody else get older
Middle of the night, got a visit from an angel
Woke me outta deep sleep, guess I wasn’t faithful
But I needed woken up, got my vision broken up
Flyin’ like I’m on a face full
My eyes lit up when I saw where he brought me
The skies lit up with the lights in the lobbies
Buildings touched the sky and I wondered why
A place like this, nobody ever taught me
About the cities, now my neighborhood seemed dead
Suddenly I’m back in my bed
New music in my headphones, Pac, Biggie and Snoop on
The angel turned around, looked at me, and he said
Uh

[Hook]
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future

[Verse 2]
Uh Uh Uh Uh
Next time he came around I was already awake
Been thinkin’ for a while ‘bout how I spent my day
But I couldn’t wait anymore, angel opened the door
I said “Good Mornin,’” I been tryna do like Ye
This time he took me past the windows and the buildings
To the ground, I saw the streetlights, felt the feelings
As as I flew down third my vision quickly blurred
Tears in my eyes as I passed by millions
I saw a different type of attitude:
A past life subdued, a real life renewed
Stressin’ hoops and fades instead of coupes and grades
The simple life in my eyes had a brand new magnitude
Wondered what I really had to fear
If it took a month or two for it all to be clear
Back in my home I didn’t feel so alone
Angel turned and left the room and took with him a few years sayin’

[Hook]
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future

[Verse 3]
Last time I ever saw him was a couple months ago
He was caught in my peripherals, movin’ slow
Almost lookin’ hesitant, always lookin’ elegant
Like the lines I been writin’, perfect flow
Rappin’ on these tagged beats, reminisce on family
His job was done, not a angel of Christianity
But he knew I was converted, my allegiance inverted from
Peter Panity to reppin’ bliss and vanity
And so he left me to my mind
All these pictures and songs forever intertwined
Filled with new vigor, the world’s a lot bigger
When you take the dark glasses off and you ain’t blind
So now I’m lookin’ through my rear-view - the world is a game
Livin’ life at a fast pace, waitin’ for the day
Me and my angel collide, i'ma open my arms wide
Introduce him to my world and say

[Hook x2]
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh, yeah
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh
Welcome to the future, uh uh uh uh uh
